[www.keralites.net] DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST

Top Six Reasons You Should Not Skip Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many people skip this meal. Most people have very busy schedules, and that leaves little time to eat breakfast. However, you should try your best to eat a nutritious meal before you start your day. There are a number of benefits that you can reap from eating breakfast.

Energy Boost

If you feel sluggish in the morning, then a nutritious breakfast can give you the energy that you need to get through your day. Fiber, vitamin C and vitamin D are just a few of the many nutrients that will help increase your energy level. Whole wheat toast with eggs and an orange is an example of a nutritious breakfast.

Help You Focus Better

It will be much easier for you to focus on work or school if your stomach is full. On the other hand, you will have a harder time focusing if you skip breakfast. When you are hungry, it is hard to think about anything else except for food.

Prevent You From Gaining Weight

Researchers have found that people who skip breakfast are more likely to be overweight.When you skip breakfast, you are much more likely to overeat during lunch and dinner. Additionally, you encourage your body to store calories when you skip breakfast.

Boost Your Metabolism

Your metabolism has a tendency to decrease when you go to sleep. Eating breakfast helps you jumpstart your metabolism. A faster metabolism will allow you to burn more calories throughout the day. That is another reason why regular breakfast eaters usually weigh less.

Help Decrease Your LDL Cholesterol

Your LDL cholesterol is better known as the "bad" type of cholesterol. LDL cholesterol builds up in your arteries and can increase your chances of developing heart disease. Studies have shown that eating breakfast regularly can help lower LDL cholesterol.

Prevent Heart Attacks

A new study done by Harvard School of Public Health has shown that people who skip breakfast may be at a greater risk for having a heart attack. Skipping breakfast increases the risk of high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, which are all heart disease risk factors. Therefore, you may be able to reduce your risk of having a heart attack if you eat breakfast.

It is very important for you to make time for your morning meal. A healthy breakfast will increase your metabolism, boost your energy, help you focus and lower your bad cholesterol. It can also prevent you from gaining weight and reduce your risk of having a heart attack.

[www.keralites.net] Best Places to See the Super Blood Moon

Rare Celestial Event: Best Places to See the Super Blood Moon

It's a celestial dynamic duo that hasn't been seen in more than 30 years.

On Sunday Sept. 27, most of North America, South America, and Africa will see a supermoon and blood moon at once.

This phenomenon has only happened five times since 1900 and won't happen again until 2033.

What is it?

Full moons are pretty common, occurring every month. But on Sunday, the full moon's orbit will be closer to Earth, making it appear up to 14 percent larger. This increased size will make it a supermoon, an event that happens about four to six times a year.

According to the Weather Channel, the moon will also pass through the Earth's shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. During this eclipse, the sun's light will have to travel through the Earth's atmosphere before it reaches the moon. This will give the moon a red-orange tint, making it a blood moon.

When to see it

If you live on the West Coast of the U.S. or Canada, you will be able to see the supermoon and lunar eclipse beginning at 7:11 p.m. It might be a good idea to eat dinner outside, as the event will last about an hour and 12 minutes.

On the East Coast, sky gazers will have to wait until 10:11 p.m. to see the spectacular event.

And if you're in Europe or Africa, you might need to chug a Red Bull to see the event. The full eclipse will peak at around 3:11 a.m. on Monday in London and about 4:11 a.m. in Cape Town.

What if I miss it?

The last time a supermoon and blood moon occurred at the same time was in 1982. Similarly, the next time this will occur is in 2033.

So if you skip it, you'll have to catch the next one in 18 years.

[www.keralites.net] ONIONS CAN CURE & ALSO POISON !!!

ONIONS : PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping
the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion wo uld be black in the morning from the ger ms. ..sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note.

Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions ABSORB BACTERIA is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we should NOT eat an onion that has been sitting for a time
after it has been cut open.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the
ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS DANGEROUS TO CUT AN ONION AND TRY TO SAVE IT TO COOK WITH THE NEXT DAY, IT BECOMES HIGHLY POISONOUS FOR EVEN A SINGLE NIGHT - AS IT CREATES TOXIC BACTERIA WHICH CAUSES ADVERSE STOMACH INFECTIONS BECAUSE OF EXCESS BILE SECRETIONS AND EVEN FOOD POISONING.

Please pass this on to all you love and care about.

[www.keralites.net] Tamil Nadu to become world’s No. 1 banana producer

Tamil Nadu to become world's No. 1 banana producer :- Chennai: Come 2020, Tamil Nadu may become the largest banana-producing region in the world, say experts. Currently, TN, the leading banana producing state in India, accounts for a third of the country's total banana production. "Production capacity of banana is increasing every year," said G. Ajeethan, General Secretary, Tamil Nadu Banana Growers Federation.

According to national horticulture board database 2014, India, the largest banana producing country in the world, has produced 29.7 million tonnes of bananas that year. Of this, more than nine million tonnes came from Tamil Nadu itself. This was a huge leap from say 2008-09 when TN produced only six million tonnes of banana. "The state government is providing drip irrigation facilities and subsidies to fertilisers and high-tech, tissue-cultured seedlings which, in turn, is increasing our production capacity," Ajeethan said "Banana production in the state equals Ecuador's production and higher than Indonesia," said P Ravichandran, president, Danfoss Industries, a leading engineering firm. "While TN can become the largest banana producer, the key is to identify interventions to reduce post-harvest losses in addition to strengthening marketing and branding efforts," he said.

Area under banana cultivation is on the rise in the state. Currently, Tamil Nadu has about 2.12 lakh acres of banana cultivation, data showed. Theni, Trichy, Erode, Thoothukudi, Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Thanjavur and Dindigul are the prominent regions where the crop is cultivated. Also the export market is also opening up. "Last year we exported almost 150 containers of banana. This year it has already crossed 500 containers," said Ajeethan. A big chunk of the Tamil Nadu bananas go to gulf countries. "There is a huge demand for the export of Grand Naine banana and other varieties such as Virupakshi, Sirumalai, Rasthali and Red Banana on a large scale," said Dr R.M. Vijayakumar, head, department of fruit crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agriculture University.
